Description of the problem	I was driving to work and the check engine light went on. I pressed the gas pedal but there was no acceleration. The engine started to stall out. I slowly pulled over, put the car in park, put the key on the off position and i tried to start the vehicle again and noticed that the battery was working but it would not start. I did this process five more times to no success. I finally called aaa and was towed home. The next day, much to my surprise, the vehicle started right up but the check engine light was still on. So, i brought it to the toyota dealership to have it checked. They ended up replacing the engine control computer.
